10 Kalamazoo County employees earn $150,000 or more annually, according to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.

The highest annual salary earned among Kalamazoo County employees was $243,674 to Michael Rice.

The highest salary was $275,290.07 in 2019.

According to records, 5,548 individuals received compensation for their work from Kalamazoo County in 2020. Of those, 1,930 earned less than $20,000.

A report from members of the Federal Salary Council published on May 2, 2019, argued the pay structures within the U.S. government are skewed and federal workers are overpaid.

Downsizing the Federal Government, a project advocating for smaller government in the face of rising deficits, argued over 2 million federal employees earned $30,000 more on average than private-sector employees in similar fields and have more generous benefit packages.
